I have had two problems with aumix - one is that values ares et at
reboot from /etc/aumixrc, which is different from the users' .aumixrc
(the one you actually save to).  This is as it should be, but was
unintuitive at first.  The other thing I have found is that something in
the shutdown script mutes the mixer completely, and (especially when
going single user and back) it appears not to reset normally.  Try
editing /etc/aumixrc (the values should be relatively apparent when
looking at it) and see if that helps you.  If not, I think you may be
stumbling on the same mute/fail to unmute bug that I have.
